I'm not sure it does work.  On my installation (now Fedora 7) the
apache server sets the default to UTF-8 by having:-

    AddDefaultCharset UTF-8

This makes *everything* seen by a browser to appear to be UTF-8
encoded regardless of what the headers set by CGI/HTML say.  Thus if I
did the above but setting charset=iso-8859-1 it won't do anything at
all because the browser simply overrides it and says everything is
UTF-8.

I need to change the browser's default setting for one hierarchy (the
pyblosxom CGI generated hierarchy).

OK, I should go UTF-8 and everything would be wonderful but it's not
immediately possible because my text editor can't generate UTF-8
encoded text yet.
